Below, describe the present invention in detail based on preferred implementation shown in the drawings.
＜the first embodiment 〉
Figure 1A is the figure that has represented the scanning mode of ultrasonic beam with the block diagram of structure of first embodiment of expression diagnostic ultrasound equipment of the present invention in the lump, Figure 1B is the figure of the state that intersects of bottom surface and the ultrasonic beam of scanning area in expression first embodiment, and Fig. 1 C is the figure that represents the demonstration example of image in first embodiment.
In Figure 1A, matrix array 1 utilizes many ultrasonic oscillators of two-dimensional arrangements to constitute, respectively with not shown sound part combination and be secured in the housing and form ultrasound probe.Send 2 pairs of matrix arrays 1 of beam-forming arrangement and drive, make to produce the predefined three-dimensional ultrasonic beam of being concerned about that the zone is scanned.The ultrasonic beam that sends is in the subject internal reflection, and its echo is received by matrix array 1.The signal that receives 1 reception of 3 pairs of matrix arrays of beam-forming arrangement amplifies, postpones to handle, and generates with being concerned about regional corresponding a plurality of beams and forms signals.Signal processing part 4 is by forming signal and handle receiving beam that beam-forming arrangement 3 generated, thus with predefined viewpoint as benchmark, generate the drawing image of being concerned about the zone.The drawing image that display part 5 shows signal handling parts 4 generate.Control part 20 is used to come sending beam-forming arrangement 2, receiving beam-forming arrangement 3, signal processing part 4 and display part 5 related controls from outside operation.
Wherein, control part 20 has: use known input equipment such as keyboard, touch screen, set and send a plurality of functions of being concerned about the zone that beam-forming arrangement 2 is scanned; Come setting signal handling part 4 to generate the function of the viewpoint of drawing images according to each care zone; And make a plurality of drawing images that signal processing part 4 generates in the display part 5 parallel functions that show.
Below, the work by first embodiment that as above constitutes is described.Via the illustrated input equipment of incidental omission on the control part 20, the user sets a plurality of care zone and is concerned about the viewpoint in zone by each.The setting of this viewpoint is undertaken by following work, that is, select scanning to be concerned about the long section in zone, sets at least one viewpoint on the normal of selected long section.According to the setting of control part 20, matrix array 1 carries out 3-D scanning by ultrasonic beam to regional V1 and regional V2 as three-dimensional care zone shown in Figure 1A.Zone V1 has not shown summit in matrix array 1, formation utilizes two sides 11 on the rectangular bottom surface 6 shown in the oblique line, the long limit by bottom surface 6 and summit and by the minor face of bottom surface 6 and two cones that side 12 shows on summit, the length on the long limit of bottom surface 6 is W1.And, on extended line, be set with viewpoint P1 with respect to a normal L1 of two side 11 intermediary long sections described later.Similarly, zone V2 has not shown summit in matrix array 1, formation utilizes two sides 13 on the rectangular bottom surface 7 shown in the oblique line, the long limit by bottom surface 7 and summit and by the minor face of bottom surface 7 and two cones that side 14 shows on summit, the length on the long limit of bottom surface 7 is W2.And, on extended line, be set with viewpoint P2 with respect to a normal L2 of two side 13 intermediary long sections described later.
In Figure 1B, in the face 8 of the dotted line in the bottom surface 6 of regional V1, bottom surface 6 and 1 crossover location that sends beam represent that with the dark circles mark 16 (=4 * 4) bar that ultrasonic beam obtained of bottom surface 6 and 1 transmission receives the crossover location of beam side by side and represents with the white circular mark.Equally, by many transmissions that send beam, be illustrated in the position of the reception beam intersection arranged side by side of bottom surface 6 two-dimensional arrangements.In addition, each bar that receives beam intersects at summit A1, and the reception beam on each limit by summit A1 and bottom surface 6 forms regional V1.In this example, regional V1 is made of 4 sections.The long section (not shown) at the center of a pair of side 11 of zone V1 intersects at single-point line X with bottom surface 6, and L1 intersects vertically with normal.Single-point line X is selected as the length direction almost parallel with bottom surface 6.
At this, signal processing part 4 carries out following processing.Viewpoint P1 on the L1 of normal shown in Figure 1B is under the situation in a unlimited distant place, be weighted additive operation (weighting addition) (comprising the additive operation of voxel (voxel) value, the definition of opacity) respectively at view data D1, D2, D3, D4, wherein, this view data D1, D2, D3, D4 be bottom surface 6 with the view data that receives the pairing reception beam acquisition of position R1, R2, R3, R4 that beam intersects in, looking from viewpoint P1 is positioned at view data on the same line.The weighted addition computing is carried out with the various degree of depth that receive beam.Carry out same computing by receiving beam, thereby, thus, can obtain 3-D view for the drafting that regional V1 finishes volume for each.Equally, can obtain 3-D view for regional V2.So, in display part 5, shown in Fig. 1 C, the 3-D view 9 of parallel viewing area V1 and the 3-D view 10 of regional V2.
Like this, first embodiment according to diagnostic ultrasound equipment of the present invention, carry out the scanning of ultrasonic beam for three-dimensional a plurality of zones, carry out the setting of viewpoint independently for each scanning area, to a plurality of images that utilize to draw the obtain demonstration that walks abreast, thus, just can obtain the drawing images of volume, compare with the situation of the image that obtains three-dimensional integral body and can carry out high-velocity scanning for three-dimensional a plurality of care zone.In addition, because the viewpoint of each scanning area is positioned on the normal of long section of each scanning area, so carry out the set positions of viewpoint easily.
In addition, though in Figure 1B, show send ultrasonic beam with bottom surface 6 orthogonal directions on be one situation, even under many situation, also can obtain same effect.
